Version 1.9.9.8 attached

Awesome thanks, will def check this out.

useful tool

How can i dump the roofs?
can i restore it after backup?
Thank you.

This tool execute this command :
dd if=/dev/block/<partition> of=/sdcard/<partition>.raw ibs=8192 obs=8192 conv=notrunc
So you can do the reverse command (not in the tool because dangerous)

Update v1.1 : You can create yaffs images now

Ok, thank you.

Ok, been using this for a while now; couple suggestions.
1. Copy feature needs to work more like Root Explorer.
---- So when you long-press and copy a file, two buttons popup, Paste and Cancel - Maybe you could even add a third to paste quickly to a favourites folder without leaving working directory ?
2. Be able to change text size of file browser. I have big fingers heh.
3. Have a Mount/Unmount button similar to the Mount R/W in Root Explorer.
--- I find I cant copy anything to anywhere, am I just missing something ?
4. Select multiple files, and copy, delete, zip, move . . . . . to favourites ?
5. Compress files or folders and save zip to a saved favourites without leaving working directory.
6. Load apk icons maybe; easier to find things sometimes.
7. Show favourites picker on program startup. I'm always working in the same directories.
A built in text editor with line numbers would be awesome. Maybe an sqlite editor addon too ?
I like what this looks like so far; I really like that you can see symlinks, the dropdown with recent paths, nandroid dumps of any partitions (nice), and the favorites are cool. Just hoping it can take over for root explorer.
Keep up the great work so far. Will be keeping on eye on this for sure.

Thanks for your report
First, i dont want to copy Root Explorer or all these slow and "3 lines" explorers... So no image/movies preview... This tool is focused on system files exploration
Apk icons maybe but not in my prority (filter by name is nice), line size : not for the moment (maybe a zoom or something later)
The multiselect on click is almost ready (for files), to keep folder navigation
the Mount/Unmount will be in tools menu later (in mounted devices menu) i need to make a new window for that... but that need work (and could make lot of reports from unknown devices, like chinese ones)
Compression.... yea hmm v2.0

Hm. I tried this, but it is a lot slower than Root Explorer. Perhaps this is because it shows a lot more objects, or due to it having a lot of features I do not directly associate with a program to manage files. Still, I can not say that having more competition is a bad thing, so keep up the good work

its because the tool use a terminal process to list folders, and a new one on each refresh... I think i can optimize that if i keep the shell process opened.
but Root enabled, its 5x slower (220ms instead of 40ms)... i think there could be a problem with superuser tool, will try to uninstall it to check...

to remount In fact like others :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount,relatime -t rootfs rootfs /
This feature will be available in some minutes (v1.3.0)
But to dump... you need to skip /proc /tmp and /sys

Hi.
I´m using your app in a Samsung galaxy S.
I lost one file and I want to recover it from a CWM backup.
Your app lets me read the backup, but I cant save the needed file ...
Is there a possibility to extract it from the backup?
Thanks in advance

Its the next step yaffs extraction...
sorry, not for the moment (but soon)
just made an update v1.3.2 which really enhance exploration speed...

I hope you release it soon
Thanks

I can't Dump Partition. A circular thing shows up then it disapear and no text saying records in+out and that it finished (like in the screenshot). And there is no file on my SD card and yes I have plenty of space.
Tried several of the small 512k partitions and the Boot and Recovery partitions.
I'm running rooted froyo 3.4.2-155, few bloat APK's removed.

this feature uses busybox "dd" applet, try to set another busybox in setting window
you can search for them in other apps, do a search in /data/data/

[I9003] DEODEXING Method If Every Other Method Fails (Without Busybox)

This Method Is The method Used By Me For deodexing Gingerbread XXKPE .I used This Method Because I was Not able to install BusyBox (ie The cp command didn't Work.so I was not able to copy the deodexed files to phone .So That the phone did not boot,stuck at the booting time).
Use This Method If Every Method For Deodexing Fails.
Steps
1.) flash to new XXKPE gingerbread Rom
2.) Root Your Phone
3.) download xUltimate-v2.2.8 xUltimate-v2.2.8
Note: You can use the already deodexed files by downloading this link Download Deodexed System Files [COMPLETE] then Goto step 11
4.) Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
5.) If everything goes well xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
6.) Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
7.) Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
8.) IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3
9.) Now run option 4, and wait.
10.) Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB debugging Mode
11.) Download QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs.zip
QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs.zip
12.) Open It QtADB (left side - Browse to the xultimate folder, Right Side System folder)

}
13.) copy all the in the done_app folder to the app folder in the phone side
14.) type odex in the filter textbox (phone side) and you will see all the odex files.select all and delete them
15.) copy all the files in done_frame to framework folder in the phone side
16.) type odex in the filter textbox (phone side) and you will see all the odex files.select all and delete them
17.) Reboot
Note 1: Rebooting Will take some time .its due to the new caching of files
Note 2: If Copying Get Stuck At somewere ,NO PROBLEM just Recopy The files Until all files are copied

Forget deodoxed process, and thank you brother for This explorer for windows, and I searched a lot for something like this but didn't find any application.
Thanks....

How To Set Up ADB/USB Drivers for Android Devices
So most people won’t have to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) ever, but if you want to learn how or want to get a little more technical with your Android phone, here’s how to get it set up.
I. Setting Up The SDK
1. Download the Latest Android SDK from Google
Android SDK
2. Extract the Android SDK .Zip file to C:\AndroidSDK (this should name the new folder created AndroidSDK in the C directory.
3. On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.
4. Plug your phone into your computer via USB cable (it needs to be on). It should say installing drivers if using Windows.
!UPDATE 12.01.09 – If using Windows 7 skip steps 4 and 5 and use this procedure instead.
5. After it installs the drivers, goto the Start menu and type cmd into the search bar (Vista or higher) or click Run then type in cmd (XP) to open the command prompt.
6. Type the following into the command prompt window (hitting enter at the end of every line):
cd\
cd AndroidSDK\tools\
adb devices
browse the C:\AndroidSDK\tools\ as the path whe QtADB asks

[TUT]How to ROOT LAVA IRIS n320/n350[CWM] [CONFIRM WORKING]

Hey XDA folks i own a LAVA IRIS n320 (Basic Droid Phone) for past months i tried to search various methods of rooting it and installing the clockworkmod on the device.
Device Specifications are listed here : http://www.fonearena.com/lava-iris-n320_2372.html
N350 : http://www.fonearena.com/lava-iris-n350_2371.html
First of all i could like to thank @getmesar due to his method i got it work ! Love ya dude ! :laugh: :good: :good:
These devices are almost the same hardware specs With both being Meditak MT6575 Chipset Hardware :highfive::highfive:
NOTE:THIS CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DID NOT DO PROPERLY I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPEN TO DO YOUR DEVICE.
Let the Rooting Process Began :
We Need Following things ::cyclops:
1.MTKDROID root and tools : Here
2.SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01 : Here
3.Drivers : MediaTek-1.1123.0 : Here
Got rOOt?
1.Making the Scatter File :
Open the MTKdroid tools and create the scatter file as shown in the pic and save the file in a good place(where you can remember)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.Prepare the Scatter File: Open the SP TOOLS where you downloaded from above load the scatter file which we created
3.Preparing the ROm :
Click on the button ADD. Double click on the line and save the ROM.
#Things To notice: The filename Will be like "ROM_#". in your case probably it'll be ROM_0.
#Remember the path of the File. U'll use this file later.
Alfter Clicking Save a new Window will appear named as "Read Back Block Start Address"
Windows Settings Will be as below
Type: Hex
Read Method:Read Page Only
Start Address: 0x0000000000000000
Length:0x12BA0000
4.Reading the Rom :
Click on Read ROM with the phone switched off and connected to the PC
Follow these Steps Carefully.Once Rom is Created you can use it in future.On success you'll see a BIG GREEN CIRCLE embded in a message box.
5.Prepare files for FlashTool and make CWM:
Open the MTK Droid Root & Tools window which we left on 1st step.it is necessary to turn on phone and to connect it to the program. Click on To process file ROM_ from FlashTool button and choose the ROM_* file saved earlier. At successful unpacking rom it will be offered to choose CWM from similar phone. Chosen CWM it is checked on compliance to the connected phone and if ok, the CWM is created.
A new scatter file and other neccessary files are created in the backup folder in droid root program's directory.you'll need the files in the next step.
6.Download new CWM to the phone:
Start FlashTool, choose scatter in the folder created on the previous step. Remove marks from all blocks! Click on RECOVERY and we choose the file CWM in the same folder which was created on the previous step. Click Download and connect a cable to PC (phone has to be switched off) and expect the end of process.
NOTE n this step the CWM recovery block has to be marked only! Also it is necessary to use only the Download button and not to use at all the Firmware Upgrade button!
Summary of step 6:
--> Click on Scatter-loading.Select Scatter file from the backup folder.
--> Make Sure all the checkboxes are unchecked. Only Recovery should be Checked.
--> Click Exactly over Recovery.
--> It will ask you to select a file. Now select a Recovery file created in step 6. Tt must be inside backup folder named as "Recovery_###.img"
--> Click Button Download.
--> Connect SWITCHED OFF phone.
Green SYMBOL MEANS YOU ARE DONE :good:
NOTE: USE THE ADB TO ACCESS THE RECOVERY
COMMAND : adb reboot recovery
This is because the keys dont work
7. Install Superuser.
Load phone in CWM mode, connect to MTK Droid Root & Tools, go on the tab root, backup, recovery and, pressing on this tab
- install superuser
Voila You now have ROOT access ! enjoy ~

Hi,
I see this tool will come in handy, but it's only backup /data/nvram/
can you update it to support backing up /dev/nvram ?
Thanks

Nice tool, restored my nvram.tar, no more baseband unknown, thanks again.

nice tool concept. is this only saving files to /sdcard/? because on newer devices with emulated storage, sdcard or microsd is mounted as sdcard1, so when doing backup on my phone it goes back instantly on backup/restore/exit menu
thanks.

nah, its fine now. turns out to be that my /data partition is encrypted, thats why custom recovery is not mounting it. also just need some work on recovery to mount sdcard on /sdcard
thanks for the tool. and +1 to include nvram.bin and probably protect_f and protect_s

where does the backup files goes to and what file extension is that

Doesn't install on my Lenovo S6000-H (MediaTek-based), gets an unknown Error.
I'm stuck with an unknow imei and gps isn't working at all...

Great concept my friend
But sadly this doesnt work on a lenovo Phab2 PB650Y. Ive actually tried almost every way out there in googles land. nothing seems to work. Thought this great script was going to be the one.

NVRAM
Can i please get NVRAM.bin and NVDATA.img for MT6750 Cubot x18 plus
Messed up my imei after full firmware flash

[GUIDE]How to extract nandroid backup and restore apps from it without pc.

Well you had downloaded a lot of apps via play store and you had no backup of these apps...
Then you came across a ROM or you decided to wipe out your data....
And the result...
You lost your apps!
Now you don't need to worry as I bring you the ultimate solution to extract and restore apps & other files from your backup!
So let's get started....
Things you will need:
A Good Advanced File Manager..
I suggest and strongly recommend you to use ROOT EXPLORER app.
I know you have it!
Now extracting of files depends upon which recovery you are using....
For TWRP users::
Go to the TWRP folder in your sdcard where the backup ie present..
Now if you want to extract downloaded apps n other files then Copy " data.ext4.emmc.win " don't take the md5 file! and paste it somewhere else...
Now rename the file by just adding " tar.gz " at the last ...
It should now look like this:
data.ext4.emmc.win.tar.gz
Now long press it and click "Extract All"
or simply extract it...
Now after the completion of extraction you will get all tha files from that backup...
Now to restore apps simply go to the " app " folder..
You will see all the apps in that...
Now to install them all at once just copy all the files and paste them here at the root
/data/app
Now reboot ...
It will show a message android is upgrading ..
Optimizing app 1 of 3X
Wait till it completes...
And guess what you got all your apps back....
To restore the settings of these apps copy their respective folder from tge extract to
/data/data
Similarly you can extract system partition too!
For CWM/philz touch users::
YOU TOO CAN USE THE ABOVE METHOD BUT IF IT FAILS THEN TRY THIS ONE..
Go to SD card/clockworkmod and copy your file according to your need what you want to extract..
To extract and restore apps copy:
"data.ext4.tar.a" to somewhere else
DO NOT COPY data.ext4.tar!!!!
Now rename the file by just adding " tar " at the last ...
It should now look like this:
data.ext4.tar.a.tar
Now long press it and click "Extract All"
or simply extract it...
Now after the completion of extraction you will get all tha files from that backup...
Now to restore apps simply go to the " app " folder..
You will see all the apps in that...
Now to install them all at once just copy all the files and paste them here at the root
/data/app
Now reboot ...
It will show a message android is upgrading ..
Optimizing app 1 of 3X
Wait till it completes...
And guess what you got all your apps back....
To restore the settings of these apps copy their respective folder from tge extract to
/data/data
Similarly you can extract system partition too!

Hi AlphaSoft, I'm trying to use your method on a TWRP data only backup. But apparently the backup was made in 5 parts each of close to 1.5GB. None of them are named data.ext4.emmc.win . Instead they are named data.ext4.win000 .... data.ext4.win004.
Must I extract them all?

Not working

Doesn't seem to work for me. My backups have upto 6 files ...data.ext4.win000, data.ext4.win001, data.ext4.win002, ......data.ext4.win005 each around 1.5gb

I have question, can this work when there are data.ext4.a, data.ext4.tar.b, data.ext4.tar.c, data.ext4.tar.d, data.ext4.tar.e, data.ext4.tar.f, data.ext4.tar.g, data.ext4.tar.h, data.ext4.tar.i, data.ext4.tar.j, data.ext4.tar.k ?
thank you.

You will see all the apps in that...
Now to install them all at once just copy all the files and paste them here at the root
/data/app
Now reboot ...
It will show a message android is upgrading ..
Optimizing app 1 of 3X
Wait till it completes...
And guess what you got all your apps back....
To restore the settings of these apps copy their respective folder from tge extract to
/data/data
Similarly you can extract system partition too!
Huh!*******
Hope it helps you....

I extracted the multi volumes data backup from a TWRP backup, after I extracted all of the files, I copied the data/app and the data/data contents into the respective folders of the new rom installation
But the booting process didnt show any upgrading message nor any of the apps detected by the new installation ?

Hi guys, I would like to know how I can extract these files and make the flash in sp flash tool, can someone help me please?
I have a backup of my Redmi 6 (Cereus) which has a briqued system, but before I did a full nandroid backup with twrp.
I can restore the stock rom and the phone goes back to normal but without imei, baseband, nvram or nvdata.
I would like to know how can I extract at least the nvram and nvdata file and flash it in sp flash tool.
That's my only difficulty.
I have an authorized Xiaomi account
Unlocked bootloader
Mediatek Drivers OK
EDL Mode Ok
USB Filters OK
Updated Win7 Operating System and no dependencies.
Stock Rom MIUI (Multiple Versions)
Flash MTK Tools
I thank you all!
